What Guests Are Saying

Rattin Campground offers a beautiful setting with clean, spacious campsites and well-maintained bathrooms, making it a pleasant place to stay, especially for those exploring the Beartooth area. While some campers experienced issues with a less-than-friendly camp host and concerns about bear activity, the overall cleanliness and size of the sites were appreciated. However, potential visitors should avoid spots 2 and 3 due to a lack of privacy.

Small campground nestled between Red Lodge and the Beartooths. Clean bathrooms. We would stay again!

The sites are a little close. Site 1 did not have a large area that was flat on the grass to set a tent unless you set on the gravel pad. Loved hearing the running water all night. Cannot complain. Pit toilets were clean and maintained. AT&T had one bar of service.

Small but nice campground. Sites 1-3 are in a simi circle and are somewhat close together. Site 4 is for the camp host. Site 5 is a nice tent or campervan site. We were in site 6 and while they claim it is a tent site, there was no where to put up your tent except on the parking pad next to your vehicle. Site 7 is first come first serve and did have room for a tent. No one else was there except the host and we never saw him. I saw the review where someone claimed to have to share a fire pit and that was not the case while we were there. Each site had a fire pit.

The campground was fine and the camp host was very nice and gave us all the information we needed. The valet bathroom was very clean so no problems there. The only complaint was the road coming in 3 miles of holes was not fun. Thank goodness we had our pick up and we just had to drive about 15 miles per hour so we didn’t tear our truck or camper up. We will definitely stay again on our travels. Hopefully the south entrance will be open.
